Wiggles love football
The FFA have produced a list of people who love the game below. Any famous, rich Canberrans in that list?
Does anyone know of any rich Canberrans, or famous Canberrans who love the game.
Does Jackie Chan love football, Terry Snow, or even Lachlan Murdoch? Anyone?
Football Federation Australia (FFA) today named the first group of football ambassadors who will form an important part of Australia’s growing family of football supporters.
“Just as football appeals to a wide range of Australians right across the spectrum, our chosen Ambassadors reflect this diversity and are drawn from all walks of life,” said FFA CEO, Ben Buckley.
“Our ambassadors include politicians, journalists, sports people, entrepreneurs, chefs and performers.
“Some of our Ambassadors love the excitement of big international matches; others simply enjoy a kick in the park with their kids; others just get a kick out of supporting the team that unites Australians – the Qantas Socceroos.”
Buckley said that the ambassadors will tell their own story, and promote Australia and Australian football as FFA builds towards its aspirations to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Australia.
“The coming month will be an exciting time for football fans as the Qantas Socceroos embark on five matches in five weeks in ‘Super June’, including two World Cup Qualifiers here in Australia presented by FOXTEL.
“We are also gearing up to host the FIFA Congress in Sydney next week with delegates from the other 207 member nations of FIFA involving around 2,000 visitors from football globally as well a contingent of international media.
“This is a great event for Sydney and it is also an exciting opportunity for us to position Australia as a potential host for significant football tournaments such as the FIFA Club World Cup (2009 and 2010), the Asian Football Confederation's Asian Cup (2015) and the FIFA World Cup (2018),” Buckley said.
The ambassadors named by Buckley today include:
Ahmed Fahour, CEO, National Australia Bank
Alex Perry, fashion designer
Anthony La Paglia, actor
Cameron Williams, television presenter
George Negus, journalist
Geraldine Doogue, journalist
Ian Thorpe, sportsman
Jeff Fenech, sportsman
John Stanley, radio presenter
Karl Stefanovic, television presenter
Kate Ellis, Minister for Sport
Mike Conway, representing The Wiggles
Stephanie Brantz, television presenter
Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy

"Cameron Williams, television presenter"
What a joke. He works on a show that barely covers football. A prime example being this morning where there was no coverage whatsoever of the advancement of Adelaide to the quarter finals of the ACL and tonights friendly against Ghana.
And I think I remember S. Brandtz saying she didn't know much about football until she joined SBS.
Also the boxer on the list, heard him chat this morning, he didn't sound like he football passion in his bones.
What are they going to do? Sell the game and turn up at "football events."
Forgive my ignorance but I've never heard of Cameron Williams. What station?
Still all aboard the bandwagon
